users the ability to navigate menus, take photos and record video with
simple voice commands. The camera enhancements improve both the video
and photo functionality. When taking pictures and capturing video, users
can now control the image resolution to best suit their needs.

Toshiba developed Vision DE Suite 2.0 to deliver fast and easy
navigation by grouping device functions into three color-coded menu
categories: Communications, File Viewer and Tools. From these three
menus users can take photos, record and stream live video, retrieve
reference materials, access diagrams and receive text messages. This

productivity and improves efficiency. In addition, the software suite
includes the Toshiba Mobile Management Console which offers IT managers
and organizations advanced synchronization and centralized device
management capabilities. Toshiba Vision DE Suite 2.0 delivers the
productivity and efficiency critical to enterprises.

or supervisor watching and available to provide real-time advice or
instructions to ensure a job is completed properly. Photos can also be
sent with annotations during the live stream to assist with the task.

head mounted display to capture and store photos on the device or the
network with ease. This capability is essential for any diagnostics,

Video Capture

the point-of-view (POV) of the worker wearing the dynaEdge AR Smart
Glasses to create a unique perspective for training purposes as well as
situational assessments.

PDF, Photo and Video Viewer

This feature allows users to find, open and view manuals, diagrams or
videos stored on the dynaEdge AR Smart Glasses solution. With this
information readily available and hands-free via the HMD eliminates the
need for paper-based resources to improve productivity and reduce
operating costs.

Console provides two-way sync capabilities for organizations. From a
centralized location, an IT professional can push work-related data to
